I got the impression that the writer was diagnosed with a fatal illness so he quickly slammed all his best ideas together into one last film. And by best, I mean other people's best ideas.
The only original thing about this film is the way it tries to fit together a story involving bikers, zombies, demons and 50's obsessed aliens. The slathering of gore held some of it together but the tacked on torture porn aspect didn't do much for me. There was a lot of box-ticking going on. Sex scenes; tick, nudity; tick, fight scene; tick, let's split up and look for the thing killing us; tick, you get the picture. None of the story-lines were concluded either. What the hell were those hints about polio for?
The director was so focused on each set that most scenes were too long and sometimes became painful to watch. I think the trick of shooting lots of footage and only keeping the best pieces was lost on this guy. Lots of duplicates as filler e.g. Shade screams non-stop for minutes, made me think the budget just didn't stretch to more than a few sets. (Sounds like she lost her voice during the shoot too.)
It was so irritating but I do have to give it marks for making me watch to the end. After all, that's the producers job in a nutshell. As for the rest of it, nice try.
